A SHORT COTTON CROP.
It seems to be agreed that the cotton
crop will be n short one. It is impossi-
WHAT INSURES GOOD PRICES.
Cotton promises to prove a profitable
crop this year. Consumption has in-
ble.of course, to say with any degree of creased more rapidly than production,
certainty how short it will be. A few the surplus has been consumed, aud a
week ago it was thought it would reach short crop following these conditions

days estimates have been published in- ers. Good prices alway stimulate

When you subscribe for the
Atlanta papers you pay for them
in advance. Why then should
you expect the Times-Recorder
sent to you for a year or two
without paying for it, and find
fault when asked for the
amount really due when your
name was entered on our mail
ing list, u* v* You have re
ceived good prices for your cot
ton, now we need the money
you are due us, and must ask
prompt payment, c* c* The
manager returns thanks to
those friends who have been
honest and kind enough to
come forward this week and
settle. But there is a host who
are still much in our debt and
the BLUE MARK will show
you just how much you owe if
you will look at the date on
your paper. „■* «* Think, if
we owed you for ten, twenty
or thirty pounds of cotton and
would not pay. The principle
is the same.

When Mr. Cleveland defeated Presi

142,000 anthracite coal workers have
gone out on a strike which will affect
the wages of 1,000,000 men. Scarcity
of coal iu Europe has sent prices up
ward, aud miners are claiming that
they should have a little more pay for
their work, so they may share iu the
prosperity of the mine owners. The
miners owners don't see it that
way, and trouble is likely to result.
Practically all of the lito msurance
held in Galyeston at the time of the
storm was carried iu thirty-three com

probable that the crop would reach 1),- the growers. Organizations for reduc-

Tbe spiuuers and the speculators nu 1 cause farmers are too numerous, too
derstand the situation very well. The widely separated and their industrial

in getting cotton at ns low a price as
possible. Many mills in this country
aud Europe have closed down because
there is no profit in manufacturing at
the prevailing prices of cotton and cot
ton goods. Spinners hope probably to
force down the price of cotton a little,
but their main object is to force up
prices of cotton goods. They know that
short cotton crop means a high
price for cotton, and they have very
little hope of seeing the price lower
than it is. They know the chances are
that it will be higher.
Tho crop last year was a little below
9,500,000 bales. Although it was a short
crop, it brought over 880,000,000 more
than the crop of tho previous year.
But all of the increase did not go into
the pockets of the cotton growers,
has been erroneously stated. Much of
the cotton was marketed at prices rang
ing between 6} aud 7J cents a pound,
This year, however, the cottou grow
ers will get the full benefit of the high
price, because the price was high at the
very beginning of tho season, and the
outlook is that it will remain high un
til the opening of another season. And
if the crop should not he more than 8,-
000,000 bales, it would bring, It is safe
to say, fully as much, if not more than
that of last ] ear brought. Tho higher
price will fully make np for tho defici
ency in tho number of bales.—Savan

ScorrsnoRO, Ala , Sept. 17.—A report

Dunn was killed by his brother-in-law,
Hugh O’Neal, on Sand mountain. Duun,
who was drinking at the time, attacked
O’Neal, firing two shots nt him, O'Neal
tried to mnlto his escape, but Dunn fired
two more shots, one grazing O'Neal’s
lip and ouo striking his little boy.
O'Neal then uttiicked Duun with a knifo

Demand
Increase of Wages For the
Day Laborers.
Coal Cheek, Team, Sept. 10.— Mi
ners nnd day laborers employed by the
Coal Creek company went on a strike
last night. The men demanded thnt
tho day laborers b. given nil increase in
wages, which would muko their pay
equivalent to that of laborers employed
by other comixmics in the Coal Creek
niid Jellic-o districts. The company re
fused to grant the increase, further than
a general raise of ?>, per cent as agreed
upon at the Jellico conference last week.
It happened that the laborors iu the
Coal Creek company’s mines were paid
a trifle less than laborers elsewhere.
The miners are satisfied with their
scale, but are striking iu the hope of
gaining tho raise for the day laborers.
About ten meu remained in the mines.
